Colloidal AFM ProbesSphere AFM TipsDescription:
The new sQube® colloidal probe combines the well-known features of the proven NANOSENSORS™ NCH series such as high application versatility and compatibility with most commercial SPMs with a reproducible sphere radius instead of a sharp tip. The excellent radius and the minimized variation of diameter provide reproducible signals.
NCH AFM probes are designed for non-contact mode or tapping mode AFM (also known as: attractive or dynamic mode).
The so called \"Colloidal Probe Technique\", where single colloids are attached to AFM cantilevers for force measurements, opens the chance for a better understanding of fundamental interactions in a variety of fields.
Examples are adhesion phenomena, particle-surface-interactions, mechanical properties, suspensions, hydrodynamics and boundary slip - to name just some out of an increasing number of applications.
The probe offers unique features: - sphere material: silicon dioxide (SiO2) - excellent sphere diameter: A = 2 µm, B = 3.5 µm, C = 6.62 µm, D = 10.2 µm, or E = 15 µm (all +/- 5%) (Due to different masses the resonance frequency can differ.) Please choose A, B, C, D, or E when ordering! - highly doped silicon cantilever to dissipate static charge - chemically inert - high mechanical Q-factor for high sensitivity - precise alignment of the cantilever position when used together with the Alignment chip (within +/- 2 µm) - compatible with PointProbe® Plus XY-Alignment Series
